Well I'm waiting for the hand controls from Japan. I figured I spent this much money why not get a nice set of controls while I'm at it. I'm also in need of the manifold boots. I bought new ones and I either misplaced them or gave them away in a pile of parts I gave to a member here. Here she is with the no hole 300s on the right side.

This bike is coming up a treat, i just read this thread, it looks like your speedo and Tach have the rare sandcast drives? and one looks early square type and the other later rounded type? These are worth a bomb to the right guy for their sandcast resto, i like your survivor Z1B too, you have some beauties there.

It's starting to look like my Christmas tree ornament of the 750 that someone sent me! It's a red K0, hangs over my desk at work. :D

Well the day has come, she is a runner! I have a few things to tidy up but overall I'm happy for the moment! This has been my first 750 tear down to the cases. I transplanted everything from the original motor minus the main bearings and I went with new Black ones. I'm waiting for the gauges to come back in. Also the connector grommet for the 1 and 2 pipes needs to be installed.

Enjoy the video! Carbs still need to be synced and new clamps for the airbox need to be ordered.

Damn! That sounds good!

No gauges, no dummy oil pressure light, no pressure gauge.... Careful!! Check oil flow to the top end.

Oh, I've checked the oil already with gauges. The gauges are being redone right now. I was worried that the top end wasn't receiving oil when i forst started it but now that the idle isn't all crazy I was able to let the bike run longer. Oil to the top end is good!

Yep. Haven't tested it yet bud. I took the housing apart but to fill the damener, that was beyond me.
